A systematic review and meta-analysis compared the perioperative and oncologic outcomes of open versus minimally invasive inguinal lymphadenectomy during penile cancer surgery. A meta-analysis ...

Skipping standard axillary lymph node dissection led to very low rates of axillary recurrence in patients with node-positive breast cancer who became node-negative following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ...

A phase I study of ADXS-504, a cancer type specific immunotherapy, for patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Background: The therapeutic benefit of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) ...

In the AXSANA/EUBREAST 3(R) study, researchers compared data about recurrence outcomes of more-invasive and less-invasive lymph node procedures.

Trials evaluating the omission of completion axillary-lymph-node dissection in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer and sentinel-lymph-node metastases have been compromised by limited ...

Lymph node dissections, or lymphadenectomies, are surgical procedures that play an important role in cancer treatments. A healthcare professional will remove the lymph nodes and check a tissue sample ...

Results from the PHENIX-I trial support skipping pelvic lymphadenectomy in women with early cervical cancer who have a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy. Omitting pelvic lymphadenectomy in these ...

In a trial, selected patients with early non-small cell lung cancer did not benefit from mediastinal lymph node dissection (LND). Mediastinal LND resulted in longer surgeries, increased bleeding, and ...

SAN ANTONIO -- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy that downstaged positive lymph nodes to negative led to a low rate of invasive breast cancer recurrence with either targeted axillary dissection (TAD) or ...

Lymph node metastasis occurs in "metastatic" lymph nodes, lymph nodes that have been infected by cancer from elsewhere in the body. A part of the immune system, lymph nodes are tiny ovals placed ...
